Catalyzing Teaching:
The Scholarship of Teaching
and Learning(SoTL)
Regan A. R. Gurung
A Brief Introduction adapted from a talk
given at the 2006 American Psychological
Association.
The Study of Teaching
Teaching Research
–Action Research
Scholarly Teaching
–Informed teaching
Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
–bring to teaching the recognition and
reward afforded to other forms of
scholarly work.
Teacher-researchers raise questions
about what they think and observe
about their teaching and their
students' learning.
…, they also see student work as data
to analyze in order to examine the
teaching and learning that produced it"
Maclean & Mohr (1999).
The Basic Idea
Basic Definitions
Scholarly Teaching-Teaching that entails certain
practices of classroom assessment and evidence
gathering; teaching that is informed not only by the
latest ideas in the field but by current ideas about
teaching generally and specifically in the field; and
teaching that invites peer collaboration or review.
(Indiana University Bloomington SoTL tutorial).
Scholarship of Teaching-Work on teaching that
is public, is critically peer reviewed and evaluated,
and used and on by colleagues.

WHY Do SoTL?
Solve mysteries
Understand
Gain perspective
Inform the Public/Administration
CATALYZE your teaching
–Implicit indicator of teaching focus
–Involve students in their own learning
Getting Starting
What’s my question?
What’s been done?
–What’s missing?
Replicate or Innovate?
Design, Conduct, Assess.

–Scrutinize your assignments
–Evaluate your interactions

Remember to check if:
You have measured correctly
(construct validity)
You have factored in all possible
influences (internal validity)
Generalizable (external validity)?
–SoTL does not subscribe to the same
rules….(see next slide)
The teaching and learning that happens in
our classrooms is often more qualitative
that quantitative.
When we study people inside their own
culture, we don’t try and generalize from a
large population. We don’t look for what is
replicable, reliable, or statistically valid.
Rather we look for what’s singular,
particular and unique.
(Chiseri-Strater & Sunstein, 2006, pp.21).
Challenges
–Time
–Coercion
–Observer effect
–‘Students as lab rats’
–Randomization
Teacher Research is Unique
It uses Naturally occurring groups
No random assignment
No comparison group
Use same test items over consecutive years
Use similar test items over time
Compare across different instructors
No random sampling
entire sample used
No pretest
Control key factors
What Do You Do With It?

Share it with
colleagues,
publish it, or
just use it to
teach better.
Sharing can be Informal: The KEEP Toolkit
Conclusions
Teacher
research/SoTL is
pragmatic
pedagogy
Scrutinizing your
teaching and
student learning
can be invigorating
